Chermiti feels too random to just throw in here , 21yr old 6ft 4 Portuguese striker , Everton signed him for £12m 2 years ago but he's not broken through yet.
Ok I've done some internet sleuthing, and have managed to find some pics to verify his height.
So what can we deduct from this? In the first picture, Knibbs is with Holmes, who is listed as 1.85cm just under 6'1.
The second pic is Holmes against Nelson, who is 5'9 (175cm)
Compare that with Nelson and Arteta, who is also listed as 5'9 (175cm) showing this is pretty accurate.
Here's where it gets interesting, as we now cast our eyes to the 4th pic of Arteta and Fabregas, who is crouching slightly here but listed at 5'10 1/2 (179cm). This is crucial because when we compare him to Beckham, we can clearly see he's shorter, and Becks is listed as 183cm, or 6' flat.
Lastly, there is a picture of Beckham alongside me, and I am 188cm tall, or 6'2.
So, what can we infer from all of this?
I've met Beckham, and Knibbs is possibly 6'1, but we don't actually know for sure.

A beastly version of Olaofe according to FM, makes Tanto look like an academy player - 6 ft 4 as you say, quick, strong, technical, aggressive and hard working.
I could see why he’d be a potential loanee, but would surely cost all or a big chunk of big wages plus a loan fee.
A signing for the short term, if a player like that does well they’d either want him back or sell for a profit.

Yeah I can't see it being a goer because of the wages and loan fee needed but a name that I wouldn't expect to see in here as a joke because he does fit the profile.
Harvey Knibbs is someone again who drastically improves us
I don't want him. We need versatile players, as Curbs used to preach. This idler is clearly unable or unwilling to play right-back or right wing-back, so no good to us.
The next time someone says 'we need to sign a target man' when we have Olaofe, Leaburn and Mbick on the staff, I will scream
Olaofe is 5’11 and even Challinor was saying how he likes playing on the last defender and getting in behind, Mbick is 18 and nowhere near ready, Leaburn has injuries issues and despite being 6’7 plays more like a technical winger than you’re typical target man who links play. Like it or not a target man makes more sense than getting another smaller pacy striker

Who are the good target men we’ve had in living memory ? Kermorgant, Andy Hunt ? The guy with Pink Hair

When Yann went to Bournemouth under Eddie Howe in the Championship he was the 10 that linked play with Wilson as the 9 but Instead of the ball being banged to him in the air every time he had the ball played to him on the Ground and being a skilled technician he laid the ball off to any number of options all over the pitch including Francis or Daniels as wing backs or pass a ball through to Wilson or convert the shot himself. Yann was good for CAFC but outstanding for Bournemouth in the Championship with his skills on the ground and in the air.
That end of season masterclass when we had a decent side but were totally outclassed on the day as Bournemouth collected the Championship trophy and found lots of space all over the pitch with their own version of pass and move with Yann as the main man.

Also, whilst not huge, Deon Burton played that role so, so well and was great in the air.

Gassan is like the youngest Sibling that comes along 8 or more years after his brother's and Sisters; he was a mistake 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏻♀️
Looks like Godden
Scores like Godden

Over 500 hundred new posts and no way am I gonna trawl through them all, is it the usual bollox or has there been any new developments?
Has Foxy added any new updates?
"tbh for 2.5m you can have him
we play him as part of a front 3 but he's a workhorse
he's weird because technically, he's not very good. But he always seems to pop up in the right place and score goals which is what its all about"

He'd fit in well on Charlton Life (!)
